  1. Let a – d, a, a + d are three numbers in AP.
    their sum = a – d + a + a + d = 3
    3a = 3
    or a = 1
    Again,
    Their Product = (a – d) x a x (a + d) = -35
    a(a² – d²) = -35
    (1² – d²) = -35
    or d = ±6
    d = 6 or d = -6
    We have 2 conditions here:
    At a = 1, d = 6
    Numbers are: -5, 1 and 7
    At a = 1 and d = -6
    Numbers are : 7, 1, -5
